Michelle Faber

Canada's leading kids' yoga & mindfulness expert

Founder of Little Yogis Academy and Busy Minds Education, Michelle has built Canada's leading kids' yoga and mindfulness company — and she's a familiar, trusted face for parents and educators across the country.

From personal practice to a national movement

Michelle's path started close to home. As a young adult, yoga and mindfulness gave her the tools to manage her own mental health — and when she noticed signs of anxiety in her son, she began sharing those same practices with him. Watching his emotional regulation and happiness transform inspired her to build something bigger: a company that could bring that same relief to children everywhere.

She founded Little Yogis Academy in 2019, and it has since grown into Canada's leading kids' yoga and mindfulness company, delivering programming in schools, childcares, camps and community organizations nationwide. In 2023, she launched Busy Minds Education, expanding her work into mindful movement, dance and gym programming for K–8 schools.

Michelle's vision is to see wellness curriculum in every school, so children grow up more resilient to life's stresses. Her mission: to make the world a kinder place through early intervention — arming the youngest learners with tools to cope, thrive and feel good, from toddlers to teens.

A workshop performance kids never forget

Michelle doesn't just teach a workshop — she performs one. Songs, games, movement and giggles woven right into the mindfulness, so kids are fully engaged from the first pose to the last breath. Schools bring her back year after year because the energy she brings is impossible to replicate.

It's the assembly that makes teachers happy and kids beg for more.
